A daily cleanse of our senses allows us to interact more rewardingly with our world and to make our awareness more clear and precise. There are many techniques to do this depending on which sense you want to cleanse. One way is simply decanting a Triphala tea.
- Before bed boil 16 ounces of water
- Place a teaspoon of powdered Triphala (or about 6 capsules) in a large glass
- Pour the boiled water in next to top off the glass
- Stir well
- Place a cover on the container
- Allow the infusion to be still and undisturbed until morning
- Soon after waking carefully decant the top third into eye cups
- Wash your eyes with this, adding rose hydrosol if you want
- Carefully decant the middle third into a neti pot (click here to learn more about neti pots and how to use them)
- Wash your nasal passages, sinuses and back of throat
- Swish and even rub the bottom third into your teeth, gums and tongue
- Swallow, sending the Triphala to purify your gastro-intestinal tract and enhance digestion
